Step 1
In a bowl, mix 1.5 cups flour, 0.5 cup cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Cut in 0.5 cup softened butter until crumbly, then stir in 2 egg yolks and 2 tbsp cold water to form a dough.
Step 2
Roll dough to 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut into 2-inch rounds and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F until edges are lightly golden, about 10-12 minutes. Cool completely.
Step 3
Spread 1 tbsp dulce de leche on half the cookies, top with remaining cookies to make sandwiches. Dust with powdered sugar or dip in melted chocolate if desired.
